Challenging wrk that requires lts f analytical thinking, planning and ther managerial skills might help yur brain stay sharp as yu age, a study published Wednesday in the jurnal Neurlgy suggests.
Researchers frm the University f Leipzig in Germany gathered mre than
1, 000 retired wrkers wh were ver age 75 and assessed the vlunteers’ memry and thinking skills thrugh a battery f tests. Then, fr eight years, the scientists asked the same grup t cme back t the lab every 18 mnths t take he same srts f tests. Thse wh had held mentally stimulating（刺激）, demanding jbs befre retirement tended t d the best n the tests, And they tended t lse cgnitive（认知）functin at a much slwer rate than thse with the least mentally challenging jbs. The results held participants’ verall health status.
“This wrks just like physical exercise,” says Francisca Then, wh led the study. “After a lng run, yu may feel like yu’re in pain, yu may feel tired. But it makes yu fit. After a lng day at wrk-sure, yu will feel tired, but it can help yur brain stay healthy.”
It’s nt just crprate jbs, r even paid wrk that can help keep yur brain fit, Then pints ut. A waiter’s jb, fr example, that requires multitasking, teamwrk and decisin-making culd be just as stimulating as any high-level ffice wrk, And “running a family husehld requires high-level planning and crdinating（协调）,” she says. “Yu have t rganize the activities f the children and take care f the bills and grceries.”
Of curse, ur brains can decline as we grw lder fr lts f reasns-including ther envirnmental influences r genetic factrs. Still cntinuing t challenge yurself mentally and keeping yur mind busy can nly help.

参考答案
一、阅读理解
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主题语境是人与社会，主题语境内容为科学发现。文章介绍了一项研究结果：随着年龄的增长，做一些具有挑战性的工作，可以帮助大脑保持敏锐。本文旨在引导学生关注思维品质和学习能力的融合发展，提升科学素养和创新意识。
1. D【解析】细节理解题。本题题干意为：科学家为什么让这些志愿者参加测试？根据题干中的“ask the vlunteers t take the tests”可直接定位到第二段第一句话。根据句中的关键信息gathered mre than 1，000 retired wrkers wh were ver age 75 and assessed the vlunteers’ memry and thinking skills thrugh a battery f tests（聚集了1，000多名75岁以上的退休工人，并通过一系列测试来评估志愿者的记忆力和思维能力）可知科学家让志愿者参加测试的目的是测试他们的思维能力，故选D项。A：评估他们的健康状况；B：评估他们的工作习惯；C分析他们的个性。
2. B【解析】推理判断题。本题题干意为：在第四段中 Francisca Then是如何解释她的发现的？在第四段中，Francisca Then通过对比长跑和长时间工作之后人们的感受，说明了从事具有挑战性的工作有助于大脑保持健康。故选B项。A：通过引用专家的话；C：通过参考另一项研究；D：通过介绍一个概念。
3. C【解析】主旨大意题。本题题干意为：下列哪项是本文的最佳标题？本文采用了“总—分——总”的结构。第一段为主题段落，介绍了研究发现的结果：Challenging wrk that requires lts f analytical thinking，planning and ther managerial skills might help yur brain stay sharp as yu age（具有挑战性的工作需要大量的分析思维、计划和其他管理技能，随着你年龄的增长，这可能会帮助你保持大脑的敏锐性），第二段至第五段说明了研究的具体情况，最后一段进行了总结。由此判断答案为C项。A：退休工人可以学习新技能；B：老年人应该从事具有挑战性的工作；D：认知机能可能随着你年龄的增长而衰退。
二、语法填空
【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。主题语境为人与自我，主题语境内容为社区生活和生命的意义与价值。文章介绍了90岁的英国全职员工 Irene Astbury坚持每天朝九晚五地在自己和丈夫开的宠物店上班而荣获“年度女性”称号的感人故事。本文旨在培养学生热爱劳动、终生奉献的高尚劳动观。
1. being【解析】考查非谓语动词作介词宾语。句意：一位90岁的老人因为是英国最年长的全职雇员而被评为“年度女性”。她仍然一周工作40个小时。设空处作前面介词fr的宾语，故此处需填名词或动名词形式。又因所给词为be，故应填其动名词形式 being。
2. which【解析】考查非限制性定语从句。根据句子结构可知设空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词 the pet shp。将先行词代入定语从句后为：She pened the pet shp with her late husband Les由此可见，关系词在定语从句中作宾语，且并指“事物”，故填 which。
3. finally【解析】考查副词。句意：在一位客户提名她为柴郡的年度女性之后，她多年的努力工作终于得到了认可。根据文章中的句子结构可知，设空处修饰谓语动词，作状语，需要用所给词的副词形式。故填 finally。
4. declared【解析】考查时态。本句为主从复合句。设空处作可根Irene的谓语动词。后面的 she had n plans.为宾语从句据上下文可知，设空处的谓语动词应该用一般过去时，故填declared。
5. t retire【解析】考查非谓语动词作定语。设空处作前面名词 plans的定语。名词plan，ability等后面多用不定式作定语。故填t retire。
6. have made【解析】考查时态。句意：我喜欢到这里来看我的家人和我多年来交的所有朋友。friends后为定语从句。根据后面的时间状语 ver the years可知，设空处应该用现在完成时，故填have made。
7. but【解析】考查连词。句意：我工作不是因为我必须工作，而是因为我想工作。根据句子意思可知，设空处与前面的nt构成“”（不是……而是……）结构。故填but。
8. saving【解析】考查非谓语动词作定语。句意：当我们接到一个说她入围了的电话时，我们认为这是个玩笑。设空处作a call 的后置定语。名词call与动词say之间为逻辑上的主动关系，故填现在分词 saying，相当于 which said。
9. a【解析】考查冠词。jke为可数名词，意为“玩笑”，在此处表示泛指，故填a。
10. wnderful【解析】考查形容词作表语。设空处作前面系动词is的表语，表示It的特征，故填 wnderful。
